These aren’t the next Ubers or Facebooks but rather small retailers, restaurants, and the like – businesses Brock calls the backbone of entrepreneurship in this country.

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”
